Robin Brockway-Nichols Mr Gjeilo, I am so inspired by your music. My choir is performing for the Texas Music Educators Convention in February and "Prelude" will be our opener. My students and I have loved working on your piece!

Alex Richardson Love your work. Sanctus is an awesome piece. :)
Michael Houff Nice writing. I hear Whitacre, Lauridsen, Newman, and Kernis in your music. Have you ever thought about writing for string quartet? I'm always looking for modern stuff to pair up with the conventional stuff.
